8. Using the scale
Preliminary note
Do not load the scale with weights that exceed the maximum capacity. If the “OL” icon appears
on the display, it means that the scale is overloaded and must be unloaded immediately in order
to prevent irreparable damage to the load cell.
Switching the scale on and off
Switching on the scale
Remove all weights from the weighing surface.
Switch on the scale. The On/Off switch is located below the housing on the right side. The scale
runs through a test programme with all icons and characters briefly shown on the display,
confirms the end of the procedure with a beep and “0.000” is shown on the display.
The scale is now ready for use.
When changing location, especially in the case of temperature fluctuations, wait for a warm-up
period of 15 minutes to stabilise the measurement results after switching-on.
Switching off the scale
Switch off the scale using the On/Off switch on the right below the housing.
Automatic switch-off of the scale
The scale has a power saving function which helps to save the battery charge. The scale
switches off automatically after a long period of inactivity. The automatic switch-off time can be
set manually by the user, as described in section 9. By default, the automatic switch-off function
is disabled.
